The Republican party controls the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives but has been unable to fulfill any of the party’s longstanding promises to their voters. This lecture will explain how changes in campaign finance have weakened the ability of the political parties to manage intra-party conflicts. These conflicts made possible the election of President Donald Trump, whose policies have further divided the party.
